Another search for bluebells

 Last time we didn't have much luck looking for bluebells, it was very early in the year and it has been very cold for the time of year.  However, on Friday 9th April Freddy went for another look.

He started by going to the wooded paths behind the Lakeside Hotel.

He passed fields ...

and even an ancient ice house.

When he came across this sign he chose to sit on rather than read it and take the warning.

However, he did manage to cross the railway lines safely.

The first flowers he came across were white and yellow.

Well a few bluebells, not exactly the forest floor covered in them, as it will be, but he found some.

He found a stall selling eggs by a farm gate.  Baboons always love finding things for sale outside farms and houses.

These cows must have been scared of baboons, they ran away and you can only just see them in the distance.  They didn't realize that Freddy was more scared of them.

On the way back Freddy noticed this gate.  It shows that in 2011 it was the 40th anniversary of the steam railway. That means it will be 50 years this year.  Freddy is hoping for some exciting celebrations.
